"The Best Pizza in Sydney"? Really? I would have to be the judge of that--although I must admit…read morethat my expectations for pizza downunder weren't high from the get-go. With three locations in Sydney, I went to the one in Paddington, where the 'Arthur's Pizza' sign is upside down. Not sure why, I mean to ask, but forgot! It's a big place that looks like a typical pizzeria you would find in Brooklyn. Though I was enthralled by the different combinations of toppings that were featured on the menu, with ingredients much to 'exotic' for a stereotypical American patron. This defended my theory that Australian palettes are generally more adventurous than Yankee ones. We were three hungry guys drooling over the menu of pizzas, pastas, and salads. After much consideration, we ordered a family size pizza, half Bello (tomato, bocconcini, basil) and half Sassari (lamb fillets, feta, red onions, sweet potato, mint), and a large Campolla (chicken, sun-dried tomato, red onion, camembert, basil). I love my crust thin and these pizzas were deliciously waiflike. The toppings were all good quality, though I was partial to the simpler Bello pizza. The people working at Arthur's were very kind. Hearing Greek from behind the counter, I struck a conversation with my fellow Hellenes only to learn that Arthur himself was Greek. So after devouring two notable pizzas, I was pleasantly surprised to hear that Sydney's best (a title I will now defend) actually comes from a bunch of Greeks.

Really nice outdoor seating and perfect outdoor area for kids to play while they wait for pizza. Often see the same people here, so a good meeting point for locals. Bring your bottle if you want, and a bottle shop just up the road. Creamy Pastas are worth getting. And all the pizzas are great. Always friendly staff too! The only con is it is too popular for delivery!

Really yummy pizza!!…read more My cousins discovered this place and raved about the pizza, so we ordered it on a Friday night. We called and ordered three pizza and they said it would be 30 minutes. We drove there from the city and got there in like 15 minutes. Parking is as bit of a challenge, but luckily someone was pulling out and we got a spot. This place was packed! The kitchen was tiny, four chefs crowded around the stove making pizzas. We had to wait about 15 minutes and walked around. There were a few other restaurants, but they were all fairly empty. Got the pizza and it smelled so good. Couldn't wait to eat it. We ordered the fratelli's - with mushroom, rocket and proscuitto, the Napolenta - which had olives and sardines and the Gamberoni, which had prawns, garlic and lemon. The Fratelli was delicious and they didn't skimp on the proscuitto. The Napolenta was nice but not a fan of sardines. The Gameroni was yummy and the prawns were delicious! Great place for pizza, probably the best I've tried in Sydney so far..

The restaurant is not vegan, but they have a seperate menu full of vegan pizzas that include vegan cheese and vegan meat - yes please!! I went for a cheese and ham pizza w pineapple (a hawaiian pizza - haven't had that since I was a kid!) and waited inside for it to be ready. They have a few seats inside if you want to wait for your pizza, which was nice. The staff was all super friendly. I was so hungry by the time we got the pizza, I whipped out a slice while on the stroll back to the car. The vegan cheese was fab, all melty and dripped down my face, and the vegan ham was good too. I am not sure which brand of vegan ham it was (I'll have to ask next time) but it could have done with a bit more salt - otherwise, it did the job! As usual, I ordered a medium thinking I'd save half for lunch the next day, then ate it all that night. It was too good. I'll definitely be back, as this place is close to where I live, and also has great pizza!! Definite win for Caringbah

Vanto is in the Queen Victoria Building on level one and is open until 9pm (at the time I'm writing this). Cute little place with ample seating "outside" the actual small restaurant but inside the shopping area. We were greeted and seated right away and the server gave us a few moments to review the menu. We already knew we wanted a simple pizza so got the margherita and a couple Italian beers. Pizza arrived quickly and tasted great. The crust could have been a little crunchier for my tastes, but still was good. I would definitely eat here again.

However the little things like the decor and shop appearance could do with some work which is why they lose a star. Don't let this dark and poor exterior fool you! The beautifully crispy wood fired pizza is to die for. With an abundance of choice in toppings, everyone can be pleased at this place. If pizza isn't your thing then try the pastas. Start with the lasagne. A bit rich which is great for someone of my stature but a bit too oily for some. But the smell of tomato just envelops the stacks of pasta sheets and beef bolognese. Simply intoxicating. If that's not enough to entice you, finish with their tiramisu. Tiramisu done by Italians, nothing can be better. An added bonus is that they do take away and delivery. A nice treat for home if you can't be bothered cooking and making a mess. Although delivery times can be long so if you're hungry, I would definitely recommend picking it up yourself.

Lucio's is about the same distance walk from Hyde Park, just in the other direction, tucked in a quiet residential area. They don't take reservations so we made sure we were there right at 6 when they opened. Friendly servers stacked some tables up and we enjoyed the outdoor-cafe ambiance watching people in a stroll or arriving at ours and the other little restaurants in the square. The pizza was just what we've come to expect from certified Neopolitano pizzerias. The crust is key: thin, chewy and delicious. They have a wide variety of toppings. We loved the Calzone but just as toppings on the pizza, the Fontina, the arugula-prosciutto one and the white-sauce broccoli. We ordered the 1 meter pizza (which is NOT a diameter like we were thinking - more like 4 pizzas in a row) but it wasn't enough so we ordered another 1/2 meter. The rocket-pear salad was also very good. We finished the equivalent of 6 pizzas between 8 adults and 3 kids. One of us was gluten free so they brought a mozzarella/prosciutto plate. The location was nice. The kids could run around the square while we sat and chatted. It filled up quickly - if you have a big group get there early.
